Sunday Blatherings - Books and Pics

See cat's like comfort too

Well, this seems like the shortest weekend ever. Guess I was spoiled by a (4) day one. Yesterday was one of my favorite annual book sales, part of a fall festival, but it sure didn't feel like fall. Hot and humid and almost 90 degrees. Fortunately, this week is suppose to offer high 70s and 50s at night (my kind of weather.

I showed amazing restraint at the book sale and only picked up theses (2) stacks of books. One small stack for me and a few like new books for the grandchildren. All were priced between 25 cents and $1.00.

Then, again, not my fault (2) more new books below arrived from the publisher this week.

The Book of Strange New Things; Michel Faber (Crown-Hogarth) - I had blogged about this one recently and in my mailbox it arrived -- the end papers are gold on this ARC - it's very sharp looking.

How to Be a Good Wife; Emma Chapman (St. Martin's Press) - The hub was amused by the title and said maybe I'll learn a few things LOL

I read Ellis Island and What Alice Forgot and enjoyed both of them. The babies are so cute! It's wonderful to have them so close in age too. Haven't heard of your two new books that arrived, going to check them out further now. Enjoy Sunday.

I haven't been able to follow my online friends' blogs for quite a while due to my illness so I'm particularly happy to see the pictures of your grandchildren. So very cute and cuddly. I hope to keep up now - feeling much better.

Ha - my husband would love for me to read How to Be a Good Wife!! I wasn't a fan of What Alice Forgot, but I think I'm one of the only people in the world that just doesn't like Moriarty's overall style. I LOVE Pat Conroy, but South of Broad was not one of his best.

Such cute babies you have :) I had luch with a friend who brought her 15 month old daughter and I couldn't stop touching and playing with her. I'm so glad Gage is growing up but that baby stage is irresistable!
